Rear Wheel O-rings - CB550
« on: March 30, 2012, 09:06:19 PM »
There are a couple of o-rings in the rear hub.  One is under the sprocket side plate and one on the hub beneath the dampening flange.  Neither of these parts seem to be available.  Has anyone found substitutes?  My bike was missing the one under the side plate, and the one under the dampening flange has a split in it.  Parts 20 and 21 on attached picture.

Thanks.

Thanks rototiller.  Thats right, that ring is really a D-ring.  So it is designed to be installed with the flat facing out? 

Thanks again.

I got o-rings here: http://www.theoringstore.com/, including the 92mm side plate ring. Good prices and friendly folks in charge.
